The Global Super League (GSL), also known for sponsorship as the ExxonMobil Guyana GSLT20, is an international invitational Twenty20 cricket competition set up in Guyana. It is organized by Cricket West Indies (CWI) and headed by former West Indies captain Clive Lloyd. Shimron Hetmyer produced a blazing display of power-hitting in the Global Super League last night, hitting 32 runs off a single over against Fabian Allen.
How the Over Unfolded
Chasing a massive total of 126, Guyana Amazon Warriors were up the against at 43/3 after nine overs. Hetmyer took strike against left-arm spinner Fabian Allen in the 10th over and smashed the following sequence:
- 6 (over long-on)
- 6 (over deep midwicket; catch dropped at the boundary)
- 6 (over long-off)
- 6 (over deep midwicket)
- 2 (pulled to deep square leg)
- 6 (over deep midwicket)
Match Impact and Highlights
- Hetmyer finished with 39 off just 10 balls, including six sixes, listing a strike rate of 390, one of the most explosive short knocks of the season.
- His onslaught turned around a struggling run chase and powered Guyana’s score from 43/3 to 75/3 by the end of the 10th over.
- Guyana Amazon Warriors eventually chased down the target in 16.3 overs to secure a four-wicket victory and progress to the tournament final, scheduled against the Rangpur Riders.
- Gudakesh Motie was named Player of the Match for his all-round performance, but it was Hetmyer’s fireworks that captured the spotlight.
Hetmyer’s 32-run over is a testament to his reputation as one of T20 cricket’s most destructive finishers. This explosive cameo is already being celebrated as one of the top moments in Global Super League history.
